Flipping Burgers, Betting on Fish: The Origin of Filet O-Fish
Based on a true story. In a modest McDonald's, you stand behind the counter with your wife, Edna, by your side. The smell of fries and buns fills the air, but something heavier lingers — uncertainty. You’re pushing your creation, the Filet-O-Fish, to skeptical customers. A handwritten sign reads, ‘Try the New Filet-O-Fish — a Delightful Catch.’ Will anyone bite? As Edna offers warm smiles, you watch every order with anxious eyes. It’s Lent, and you’re betting everything on this fish sandwich to save your struggling franchise. This is you, and the origin of the Filet-O-Fish.
